...prepared in innocence to meet our king of glory
and so we have this
you have it in your secret windows
and you're understanding to understand it and to bring it forth
it takes minute detail
it takes a holy life
it takes emotions
it takes dedication
it takes dedication
it takes a death
and only God can allow it,
and you couldn't do it if you're not the seed of God
and so the path through the great corridors
these are corridors unto his perfection
that is which the prophet and the Urim and Thummim has penetrated
that through this great sea of blackness
that I penetrated through these corridors
and I went through that last segment
where I went through these dark serpentines
I passed through that corridor
where they sat, where they are
and when you penetrate to the most high God
you will believe you are mad
you will believe you've gone insane
but I tell you if you follow the secret window
and you die to the ego nature
you will penetrate this darkness
oh yes there's many a man or woman
that's been put in the insane asylum
when this has happened to them
and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane
but they saw something that's real
and they see it when they're on drugs
the only thing is they see it
not through the light of God, and the way I show you
I show you to see it through the light of God
and the understanding of God
because when you see the face of God, you will die
and there will be nothing left of you
except the God-man, the God-woman
the heavenly man, the heavenly woman
the heavenly child
there'll be prayer on your lips day and night
there'll be a song of jubilee waiting for your king
there will be nothing you will not be be looking for in this world
except in for your god
this is all a dream
a dream in death

and so I went through that window
and the tower of hell and the great serpentines of the highest order
and I went through that when I showed you chart #3
the question is asked and learned and someone who can turn this _ of this horrible _ of my _
All infront of me can now ask me a question
you need to ask, from the right _ or the right _ out of Urim and Thurrim
I can give you unspoken words that's never been spoken, it's not in your bible
Yet, it does clarify what is spoken in the bible...

General CommentThis comment may be a little late, but I believe the comment above refers to another song on the album, "Antennas To Heaven."

Anyway, this could very well be my favourite track on "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like..." The prophetic speach given above with the strings in the background, followed by the very deliberate, yet increasingly intense strings...this is what I truly think Apocolypse will sound like, people.

(I'm also far too sleep-deprived for my own good and I have little idea of what I'm talking about. Ignore me, please.)

I love it. I love it when literature or the arts delve into the deep and dark territory that is the apocalypse. Despite being of no religious beliefs, the image that's painted is so passionate and dedicated that it's fascinating to me.

This is the entire corrected Preacher Speech. I just spent 30mins on this comment!!

The end of the initial speach is wrong, and I'm not sure if it says 'emotions' or 'motions' in the beginning? You typed 'emotions' but it sounds like 'motions' to me. I also corrected line 15.

There is only a post here once every seven months so I hope this helps, because it would have saved me some time.

The question is asked in Urim and Thummim concerning the Pit
This horrible pit of mire and flame
With the Urim and Thummim you can ask me a question
If it’s asked from the right being or the right soul
Out of Urimm and Thummim I can give you unspoken words
That’s never been spoken it’s not even in the Bible
Yes, it does clarify what is spoken in the Bible…

General CommentThis song really scares me. I don't know what to think about it, it obviously sounds like someone is giving a speech about a sort of vision they had...
Possibly talking about an occult ritual of some sort...

General CommentThe imagery is at times decidedly and specifically Judaeo-Christian. The urim and thummim he refers to were part of the priestly vestments in the Old Testament which were in some way revelatory, though it does not specifically describe how they reveal God's will. The term God-man, I have also heard used before, but only of Christ. Further, the statement that no man may see the face of God and live is from Exodus, I believe. This guy is definitely not an orthodox Christian, but his imagery is Christian. There is a statment that was left out of these lyrics that comes immediately following the last line that states "I can give you unspoken words, that are not even in the Bible" So as much as I kind of like his depiction of Christianity as an experience that will cause the death of the self and the creation of a new man, I absolutely think he's apostate because of statements like that and a few others in there, as well. It's a magnificent song, though.
